Problem with fractional seconds
Gabor, Thanks, that worked. However, is there is way to just get the time and not have the date added? I assume the date is added since POSIX is based on seconds since 1970. I can't seem to convert the POSIX value to Chron times(), and Chron won't take fractional seconds. Are there other ways to deal with just time and not date?

Dear List, I am having problems converting a file with fractional
seconds to class POSIXct. ?I have set my options to include digits.secs and my format to just time, but my output is the current date with my time lacking the fractions of a second. ?For example:
options(digits.secs=3)
t<-c("06:00:00.100","06:00:01.231")
myt<-as.POSIXct(t,format="%H:%M:%S")
myt
[1] "2009-05-26 06:00:00 HST" "2009-05-26 06:00:01
HST"
I would like the output to be just time with
fractional seconds. I.e.
06:00:00.100,06:00:01.231 I have also tried Chron times() which did not work
either. ?Interestingly, Sys.time() does produce fractional seconds, so I know the options are working.
I would appreciate your help and suggestions. Aloha, Tim Tim Clark Department of Zoology University of Hawaii
